Mob Psycho 100 

Don’t forget…

Happy birthday my love, my man ;;; w ;;;

[ID: A collection of Mob Psycho 100 gifs comparing parts of 3×04 to each other and past scenes.

Reigen points to Mob with a flat expression and says, "So this is what it feels like to be accused of being brainwashed when you're not." Mob inhales as his thoughts flash between Ritsu, Tome, and Mezato all pointing at him.

Then several images from earlier in the episode. First, Mezato tells Mob, "Don't worry about it any more," Her expression is a simple but unsettling smile, her eyes closed and mouth wide. Second, Dimple's LOL cult gathers, several of its members staring at Mob. Their masks look like Mezato's face. Third, Tome points straight forward at Mob, gesticulating, evasive. Fourth, Ritsu points at Mob, accusing, wearing an empty smile.

Then a shot from season 1 of Dimple, thrilled, pointing straight forward and assuring, "You can become big! I guarantee it!"

Finally, Mob is still for a moment. His hand comes up to clutch his chest. He bows his head, lips pressed together. End ID]

someone's pointing at you

I have a hc that mob eventually picks up on some reigen mannerisms... hes not sure how to feel about this development

Thinking about Edward Elric as the Amestrian Military's specialest little unfireable boy

State alchemists can be fired for underperforming. We know this up front from the likes of Shou Tucker. And this makes a ton of sense from the homunculi's standpoint since the state alchemists are sacrifice candidates, and the homunculi would want to cull the weakest candidates and focus only on cultivating the strongest ones who stand the best chance of opening the portal.

........Then there's Edward. Who's already opened the portal.

There's no need to cultivate him. No gamble taken on whether he's good enough to open the portal. He passed the final test already. Graduated 4 semesters early.

And as such, has a free pass to do Absolute Fuck All.

And I'm imagining how funny this is from like an outside perspective.

Some newish state alchemist who'd only ever read up on the stories of Edward Elric, ready and excited to start their career of being paid handsomely with endless freedom to research and travel and do anything they want in the pursuit of science... surprised and confused to find themselves put on probation their first month for things like "ignoring orders." Which is, as best they had thought, a famous Edward Elric pastime.

Roy showing a slight bit of stress about his yearly state alchemist report, and Ed just snorting and rolling his eyes at Roy because every year HE just hastily does his on the train ride over (canon in the manga, a travesty it was left out of the anime) and it gets rubber stamped. Ed not realizing that other alchemists' reports get genuinely scrutinized and torn apart while Ed is free to turn in whatever absolute bullshit he thinks of 36 hours ahead of time. One year his report was about whether alchemy could be done via dance (conclusion: no it can't) and no one cared. Roy WANTS to tell Ed there's some kind of unknown favoritism around Ed making him literally bullet-proof but Roy has no way to phrase this that doesn't sound like he's just in denial and mad at how good Ed's train-reports are.

Guy from the Internal Amestrian Affairs sector who's responsible for auditing other internal military personel for any suspicious activity hitting about 1 million red flags for Edward Elric, issuing a STRONG and URGENT recommendation to suspend the alchemist pending further investigation into things like "literal bunk-buddies with two members of the Xingese royalty (enemy nation)" and "spent $10,000,000 of his stipend on a librarian to make her re-copy (what he seemed to interpret as?) military records in some extremely transparent effort to unearth state secrets (it was a recipe book but he was literally asking her about state secrets)" and "literally has never once obeyed an order, ever, not even once in his career, and is on public record having said 'I do not care about the goals and protections of the Amestrian Military. I am in fact only pursuing my own interests several of which are diametrically opposed to the safety and well-being of the governing body of Amestris'"

The issued recommendation is intercepted before it even reaches its intended desk. President Bradley himself has taken issue with it and denies it before a single set of eyes has seen it. The President's veto stamp is a terrifying hammer, used rarely, and it is now sitting on the auditor's desk.

The auditor sleeps with one eye open from then on out.

as!Reigen's friend group

a batch of redraw reigens bc my friend has a LOAD of meme pictures and we both love reigen period 

Mob can be shameless thanks to Teru
